How we handle bath repair in Leadingcross Green
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are deep scratches in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Leadingcross Green: your questions answered
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Leadingcross Green. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Common problems we fix in Leadingcross Green
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- What preparation is included
- Aftercare advice
